Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Simon Jody after the Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Friday, the thirteenth. It's Gallentine's Day, which is the
day where girlfriend gal pals get together and have brunch
and you know, love each other. Whether you're single or not,
you still do Galentine's Day. Our youngest Phoebe has a
boyfriend she's had for going on three years now.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Two or three years.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Why can't you do Galentine's Day on Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Because Valentine's Day is Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is separate.
It's the day before.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Okay, that's how it is, Murphy.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
If you're so, maybe that's if you actually do have
a significant other in your life, than you would do.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
The Valentine's Day two. I love that idea.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I've never really done it, like I do that with
my girlfriends whenever we want.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yes, that's true. Every Friday is Galentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So tomorrow being Saturday, and I wanted did you notice
your gift, your Valentine's Day gift that I dropped on
your desk Valentine?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, and I didn't. I assumed it was a Valentine,
but I wasn't really sure because sometimes you'll just drop
snacks my way anyway, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah, I didn't have a Valentine's note on it.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Okay, yeah, that's the reason he didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah I did. It didn't have a note, which is okay,
I don't need a note. You know what, it's already
the language of love, just giving it to me.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, it's your big it's Murphy's container that he's supposed
to keep filled with snacks since he's a Type one
diabetic watching his you know, diet.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Now, So did you notice it was.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
All pretty good, like good snacks to grab if you're
stuck here at work and you can't get out, which
happens a lot, and you're gonna skip lunch.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, I got all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. And you know,
I've actually lost another four pounds, I know. So it's
you know, this is this is good not to have
the kind of snacks that I don't need, So thank you.
It's really sweet.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
By the way, I health these snacks.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't since it's Galentine's Day, I haven't given you
your gift.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, I'm good, So he's good. Then until like what
Father's Day when you're replenish it again, or his birthday.
And that's about how it works, isn't it. Yah?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, I mean you will have Valentine's Day together. That's
just something I wanted to do for you. But you
do need that stuff at work. I was leaving here
the other day and I knew that he had not
eaten anything. And he has a Type one diabetic and
he got pulled in a million different directions and he
was on a call and he was about to lead
a call, and it was two pm and I was
about to leave and pick up some lunch, and I
(02:21):
thought that man hasn't eaten. So I picked up lunch
for the both of us, walked in in the middle
of his call. People don't know this stuff happens while
he's loading a call, like a team's call or zoom
or whatever. And I'll just like slip lunch in front
of him and go bye.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
And I did that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Do you forget when you when you get busy, that
it's you have to eat?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I mean, I think I just tend to put it off.
It's it's the way that my brain works. Whatever is
the task at hand at the moment is what I'm
focused on, and so if there's not time, I mean,
I don't like skipping meals because it's not good for you.
I guess you could theoretically call it inter minute fasting,
but it's never a good idea. So like, for you know,
in the mornings, even if it's just a protein something
(03:04):
shake or whatever, I don't ever skip in the morning
because that's the worst thing to do to your body
is to start today without something, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I think real intermittent fasting is at least fourteen sixteen
hours without anything.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It triggers the blood, the insulin.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, it's it's the well, it's variable, and I still
am learning about it because there's an app I just downloaded.
It's it's kind of like one of these all encompassing
that counts. You can sparse code, scan things. It tells
you what restaurants have, all that stuff. But it's got
a little timer in it where you can set your
inter minute fasting and in the range on it is
even like a the inter minute fast would be from
(03:41):
night to morning, or you can set it wherever you
want to. But apparently inter minute fasting could be anywhere
eight to ten hours in one stretch. It doesn't have
to be fourteen.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, okay, well cool, yeah, Well so anyway, I'll do that.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I like to. I would do that for you anyway if.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It was an hour. I know you don't have to,
and I really appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
See that there's some protein like oatmeal packs in there
that you can make with hot water, chocolate chip flavored.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Oh no, I didn't see that and.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Not so high in calories. That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
You get any of those protein.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
No, I didn't throw that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm trying to help him, you know, have food, but
I'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Be sensitive to the fact that he's dieting.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So it was very I don't I mean sugar free
jello cups, I mean pudding pop.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm not even eating I mean crackers could be a
standby if I had to. I'm not eating anything like
that right now. When I tell you, I don't eat
a bag snack or a piece of candy, I don't
eat any of that. The last thing that I had
a treat and it's just you know, my philosophy on that.
We went out to eat with friends last weekend, yes,
and we had we shared a slice of cheesecake. You
know what, it didn't come out of a box. It's
(04:46):
not prepackaged, it's not you know, it's I know that
it's worth technically dessert, but that's the kind of stuff
I'm going to indulge in if I'm enjoy a dessert,
not not stuff in a wrapper, because as I've learned
over the years, that's the stuff that sticks to me.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You down, that's worth it for that your body doesn't
know what to do with it. It takes longer for
your body to process something with one hundred million ingredients
as opposed to something that was fresh made in a kitchen.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So do I miss cheese? It's absolutely munchos. Of course,
who wouldn't miss munchos?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Don't think about it. That's nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But yeah, I mean I'm not and honestly because now
that I've now that I haven't had any of that
literally since December the twenty sixth, If I can just
keep going that way, yeah, that's contributing more than almost
anything you know else this You have more.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Control over what you put in your mouth. That's everything.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I have a question too about this and how it
might relate to like a drinking situation like drinking and
you know, you and I quit and it's like we're done. Yeah,
you know, it's not like, well, you know and once
a week you can happen years I'll get back to it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Da.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
DA Is that how you're approaching this stuff? I mean,
you just mentioned Manchos. Do you think that somewhere in
the future Manchos are back in the forecast? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
But I mean I could. I don't know how to
explain it. It's it probably is that same approach. But
just like me, even now that you know this May
eighteenth will be fifteen years since my last drink, I
don't like saying that I quit. That's too stressful for me,
even fifteen years ago. I just so so the same
(06:12):
thing with this. I'm not denying it. I'm just gonna
choose in the moment whether i want it or not.
And you know the trade off right now of being
you know, twelve pounds lighter and honestly it's little things too.
Like I used to think all this discussion about inflammation
was a little bit of not true. I won't say
what I really thought it was, but of course it is.
(06:33):
But I mean, more studies are now showing that, you know,
a lot of these things that are prepackaged, you know,
that have all the other things that aren't natural ingredients
or whatever you want to call it in these snacks
are inflammatory to the body. And anything that creates an
inflammatory response for the body is always going to affect
everything from your mood, your physical feeling and all of that.
(06:53):
And so since I have, since I started doing all
this on the twenty six, I've had more energy, sustained
energy all day long, you know, and I wasn't feeling
like that before. And my blood sugar is like, really,
the pump is doing its own thing. I almost don't
give insulin except if I'm sitting is a big it's
it's So that's my way of saying that all of
(07:15):
that is driving me.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It feels good. Even my workouts feel better. So even
though I hit this plateau for two weeks, I'm so glad.
Jody said, what did you say, it's the long haul?
Was it long game?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
You're playing the long game?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, right, dude, you're playing the long game. And I
kept that in my mind because I was literally plateaued
at one two for two weeks.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
And I'm like, plateau is normal.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, but literally not eating it. I couldn't believe. It's like, Okay,
I'm not eating you know, but maybe fifty percent of
what I was eating before. Why am I stuck? And
then all of a sudden boom, it unstuck. Yeah, and
is moving. So if that's the case, I mean, I'm
not going to deny myself if I want to have
one here or there. I don't know that I ever
want them in the house again, honestly, if I want,
(07:59):
you know, if if I do want candy, it would
be one little convenience store trip or we're on a
you know, traveling or something like that. But not keeping
it in the house is the biggest thing. And so
I'm just I don't know, I'm pumped about it. And
I really appreciate your support Jody on that too, because
having the like mind I've been cooking.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, I'm mostly eat really I eat. I'm very
conscious about what I eat anyway, but knowing that I'm
literally responsible for most of the meals that you take
in that you know, I've been cooking lighter for him to.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, well, and we like to eat out, and I
mean know the choices that I'm making when we eat
out are also a little better. They're better choices, I mean,
skipping appetizers and whatnot. It just you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Hard to skip an ampetizer.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
General.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
The other night, the server comes up would be like
appetizer and you could see him go.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It was like, we're not doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
This much, Jody. It's smoked Gouda mac and cheese.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Look okay. Anyway, I wanted you to know.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's a little Valentine for you professional like at work Valentine,
for you loading up your snack box. Sorry, I forgot
to put a big heart on it.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Personal Valentine, the only one I.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Wanted to love bomb today, little Valentine, Sam, I brought
you something. Sorry, Murphy, you can't have this, the black
Raspberry sour patch. Yes, and I brought one for producer
of Faith also. I know she's also watching it, but
if she you know, if you want it, it's yours,
our hearts.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
That looks like the do they call that the theater box?
What do they call that movie?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Movie theater?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Then sweet two and a half serving, it says black raspberry.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It looks like to me.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I gave a box to FEBEs on her birthday last
week with her birthday stuff, and she was like, she
loves sour patch and this is just a special Yeah,
black raspberry perfect.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Perfect. Anyway, that's a little valentine for you.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So we have a Valentine's email I wanted to share
from Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
While you got while you have your candy?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh dam is it sour?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh his face? Look at his face?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Definitely sol fa.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Oh wow, you're making my mouth hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Do you know that kind of stuff? I know you
get the email, Jody. That kind of stuff, for whatever reason,
makes me break into a sweat. I don't on my head.
I don't understand that. That's the response.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's your body.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
It's all gone now. So now I'm to the sweet
Oh cool?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Did enjoy that way?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Ten seconds of Doesn't it make you want another one?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Though? It's gonna be a while?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, good, all right, we'll happy Valentine's Day. Lisa sent
this to Murphy Samonjody dot com. I have been a
nurse for forty years, still going strong.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Thank you, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's the most respected, by the way profession in the
United States. We trust nurses more than anybody. Sorry, docs,
I just read that the other day.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I've worked through it.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But you say, the study shows that we trust nurses
more than doctors.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
It's the top most trusted.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I mean, I get that, but you know, being at
the top, I'm just more than responders.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I know. Okay, I didn't do this, I didn't fill
out the survey. I just am the messenger.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I read that, and I want to say first responders
and uh, you know doctors.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
And.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, I mean the thing because a nurse is there's
a bedside manner that goes with the nurse. Most nurses
have this empathy and compassion. Correct, not that doctors don't,
but I can nurse.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Ends up spending the time with you on a human level.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Okay, And honestly, a nurse knows what to do with
all that all that equipment in the room. If a
doctor walks in there not necessarily touching that. They're there
for the brain and the diagnosis or whatever, and they're important, obviously,
but the nurse is on the ground floor, like in
it with you. It's true. Anytime you've ever had an
experience with a nurse like that, mine would have been
(11:52):
giving birth to Taylor, when a nurse came in and
just saved the day for me, and it helped me
get through what I didn't want to have. She helped
me emotionally that day. And then the doctor also saved
my life.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Doctor.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Remember one of my former diabetic nurses who's been retired
for like ten years now. I ran into on a
flight the other day. I hadn't seen her in like
twenty years. But the warm and fuzzies all come right back,
you know, because.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
She helped you you were the most vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yes, that's what That's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I really, Lisa, I promise I'm gonna get to your
email here. I've been a nurse for forty years, still
going strong. I've worked through the AIDS epidemic along with
the COVID pandemic. Nurses are just tired. We are worn down.
Many days we want to hang off our scrubs and
throw our well worn shoes out the door and quit.
Yet we keep going, and we keep caring. We care
(12:42):
for those taking their first breath to those taking their last,
and everything in between. We care for those leaving the
earth expected or not, and we care for the broken
hearts left behind. God, that's true. The best thing you
can give a nurse is a smile and a thank you.
Those two things our hearts and keep us going. So
(13:02):
for Valentine's Day and every day, really refuel America's nurses
with a thank you and a smile and thank you all.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Love the show.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It gets me ready for my crazy shift every day
it's from Lisa.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, thank you, Lisa. We appreciate that. Yeah, And obviously
in a couple of months here, what is at the
beginning of May.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's Nurses Week, Nurses Week and Teachers Appreciation Week, and
all that falls at the same time.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We'll be doing a lot more shout outs. I'm sure, yes.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So anyway, it was Grateful Friday. It's Friday, the thirteenth,
It's Galentine's Day. You know, there's a lot going on,
but we love hearing from you. Keep it coming anytime
at Murphy Salmon Jody dot com.

I don't have a professional gift for you. What do

and we had we shared a slice of cheesecake. You
know what, it didn't come out of a box. It's
(04:46):
not prepackaged, it's not you know, it's I know that
it's worth technically dessert, but that's the kind of stuff
I'm going to indulge in if I'm enjoy a dessert,
not not stuff in a wrapper, because as I've learned
over the years, that's the stuff that sticks to me.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You down, that's worth it for that your body doesn't
know what to do with it. It takes longer for
your body to process something with one hundred million ingredients
as opposed to something that was fresh made in a kitchen.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
So do I miss cheese? It's absolutely munchos. Of course,
who wouldn't miss munchos?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Don't think about it. That's nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But yeah, I mean I'm not and honestly because now
that I've now that I haven't had any of that
literally since December the twenty sixth, If I can just
keep going that way, yeah, that's contributing more than almost
anything you know else this You have more.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Control over what you put in your mouth. That's everything.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I have a question too about this and how it
might relate to like a drinking situation like drinking and
you know, you and I quit and it's like we're done. Yeah,
you know, it's not like, well, you know and once
a week you can happen years I'll get back to it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Da.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
DA Is that how you're approaching this stuff? I mean,
you just mentioned Manchos. Do you think that somewhere in
the future Manchos are back in the forecast? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
But I mean I could. I don't know how to
explain it. It's it probably is that same approach. But
just like me, even now that you know this May
eighteenth will be fifteen years since my last drink, I
don't like saying that I quit. That's too stressful for me,
even fifteen years ago. I just so so the same
(06:12):
thing with this. I'm not denying it. I'm just gonna
choose in the moment whether i want it or not.
And you know the trade off right now of being
you know, twelve pounds lighter and honestly it's little things too.
Like I used to think all this discussion about inflammation
was a little bit of not true. I won't say
what I really thought it was, but of course it is.
(06:33):
But I mean, more studies are now showing that, you know,
a lot of these things that are prepackaged, you know,
that have all the other things that aren't natural ingredients
or whatever you want to call it in these snacks
are inflammatory to the body. And anything that creates an
inflammatory response for the body is always going to affect
everything from your mood, your physical feeling and all of that.
(06:53):
And so since I have, since I started doing all
this on the twenty six, I've had more energy, sustained
energy all day long, you know, and I wasn't feeling
like that before. And my blood sugar is like, really,
the pump is doing its own thing. I almost don't
give insulin except if I'm sitting is a big it's
it's So that's my way of saying that all of
(07:15):
that is driving me.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It feels good. Even my workouts feel better. So even
though I hit this plateau for two weeks, I'm so glad.
Jody said, what did you say, it's the long haul?
Was it long game?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
You're playing the long game?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, right, dude, you're playing the long game. And I
kept that in my mind because I was literally plateaued
at one two for two weeks.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
And I'm like, plateau is normal.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, but literally not eating it. I couldn't believe. It's like, Okay,
I'm not eating you know, but maybe fifty percent of
what I was eating before. Why am I stuck? And
then all of a sudden boom, it unstuck. Yeah, and
is moving. So if that's the case, I mean, I'm
not going to deny myself if I want to have
one here or there. I don't know that I ever
want them in the house again, honestly, if I want,
(07:59):
you know, if if I do want candy, it would
be one little convenience store trip or we're on a
you know, traveling or something like that. But not keeping
it in the house is the biggest thing. And so
I'm just I don't know, I'm pumped about it. And
I really appreciate your support Jody on that too, because
having the like mind I've been cooking.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, I'm mostly eat really I eat. I'm very
conscious about what I eat anyway, but knowing that I'm
literally responsible for most of the meals that you take
in that you know, I've been cooking lighter for him to.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, well, and we like to eat out, and I
mean know the choices that I'm making when we eat
out are also a little better. They're better choices, I mean,
skipping appetizers and whatnot. It just you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Hard to skip an ampetizer.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
General.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
The other night, the server comes up would be like
appetizer and you could see him go.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It was like, we're not doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
This much, Jody. It's smoked Gouda mac and cheese.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Look okay. Anyway, I wanted you to know.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's a little Valentine for you professional like at work Valentine,
for you loading up your snack box. Sorry, I forgot
to put a big heart on it.
Speaker 4 (09:09):

What do they call that movie?
Speaker 3 (09:36):

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Then sweet two and a half serving, it says black raspberry.
Speaker 1 (09:41):

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I gave a box to FEBEs on her birthday last
week with her birthday stuff, and she was like, she
loves sour patch and this is just a special Yeah,
black raspberry perfect.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Perfect. Anyway, that's a little valentine for you.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So we have a Valentine's email I wanted to share
from Murphy Samonjody dot com.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
While you got while you have your candy?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh dam is it sour?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh his face? Look at his face?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Definitely sol fa.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Oh wow, you're making my mouth hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Do you know that kind of stuff? I know you
get the email, Jody. That kind of stuff, for whatever reason,
makes me break into a sweat. I don't on my head.
I don't understand that. That's the response.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's your body.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
It's all gone now. So now I'm to the sweet
Oh cool?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Did enjoy that way?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Ten seconds of Doesn't it make you want another one?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Though? It's gonna be a while?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, good, all right, we'll happy Valentine's Day. Lisa sent
this to Murphy Samonjody dot com. I have been a
nurse for forty years, still going strong.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Thank you, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's the most respected, by the way profession in the
United States. We trust nurses more than anybody. Sorry, docs,
I just read that the other day.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I've worked through it.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But you say, the study shows that we trust nurses
more than doctors.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
It's the top most trusted.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I mean, I get that, but you know, being at
the top, I'm just more than responders.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I know. Okay, I didn't do this, I didn't fill
out the survey. I just am the messenger.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I read that, and I want to say first responders
and uh, you know doctors.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
And.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, I mean the thing because a nurse is there's
a bedside manner that goes with the nurse. Most nurses
have this empathy and compassion. Correct, not that doctors don't,
but I can nurse.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Ends up spending the time with you on a human level.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Okay, And honestly, a nurse knows what to do with
all that all that equipment in the room. If a
doctor walks in there not necessarily touching that. They're there
for the brain and the diagnosis or whatever, and they're important, obviously,
but the nurse is on the ground floor, like in
it with you. It's true. Anytime you've ever had an
experience with a nurse like that, mine would have been
(11:52):
giving birth to Taylor, when a nurse came in and
just saved the day for me, and it helped me
get through what I didn't want to have. She helped
me emotionally that day. And then the doctor also saved
my life.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Doctor.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Remember one of my former diabetic nurses who's been retired
for like ten years now. I ran into on a
flight the other day. I hadn't seen her in like
twenty years. But the warm and fuzzies all come right back,
you know, because.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
She helped you you were the most vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yes, that's what That's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I really, Lisa, I promise I'm gonna get to your
email here. I've been a nurse for forty years, still
going strong. I've worked through the AIDS epidemic along with
the COVID pandemic. Nurses are just tired. We are worn down.
Many days we want to hang off our scrubs and
throw our well worn shoes out the door and quit.
Yet we keep going, and we keep caring. We care
(12:42):
for those taking their first breath to those taking their last,
and everything in between. We care for those leaving the
earth expected or not, and we care for the broken
hearts left behind. God, that's true. The best thing you
can give a nurse is a smile and a thank you.
Those two things our hearts and keep us going. So
(13:02):
for Valentine's Day and every day, really refuel America's nurses
with a thank you and a smile and thank you all.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Love the show.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It gets me ready for my crazy shift every day
it's from Lisa.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, thank you, Lisa. We appreciate that. Yeah, And obviously
in a couple of months here, what is at the
beginning of May.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's Nurses Week, Nurses Week and Teachers Appreciation Week, and
all that falls at the same time.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
We'll be doing a lot more shout outs. I'm sure, yes.
Speaker 2 (13:30):

It's Galentine's Day. You know, there's a lot going on,
but we love hearing from you. Keep it coming anytime
